Mothers and daughters are bonding over their OK! Beauty Box subscriptions. Each month more than 17,000 beauty lovers receive a bargain box of new products to try out. As fun as the £8.
99 subscription is as a treat to yourself, a lot of people are finding an extra helping of joy by sharing it with a loved one. Many glammed-up mums have shared stories of how the monthly packages have helped them bond with their daughters, while also making sure that none of the products in the Beauty Box go to waste. Elizabeth explained how she had dropped off a Box to her daughter while she was in hospital having given birth to her third child.
"I share my box with my daughter. I had her at 16, she is now 32 and has had her third baby boy. I made up a gift bag for her to take into the hospital with her just to give herself a wee pamper.
Doing the boxes has helped me understand how to pamper myself," the proud mum said. Mum Isabo shared how she likes to split the Box with her daughter while they catch a few episodes of their favourite show. She wrote: "A great way to spend a little time with my 19-year-old daughter.
Coming together for a little pampering time while we both watch our favourite show, Sex and the City. We both get to share beauty treats without spending a fortune." As great as the Beauty Box products are, everyone has different tastes and may find they prefer one item more than another.
Mikala has found that sharing the items out means they don't go to waste. "I have been getting these boxes for a while now and have loved every single one. Yes, there are some things that I personally wouldn't use, so I made a goodies bag for my daughter so she gets to share them.
Excellent products and definitely the best beauty box on the street by far," she wrote. Sandra does the same thing, but with beauty products she considers to be a bit less appropriate for her than others. "Wonderful quality products, many of which I have never heard of.
A treat to look forward to every month at a fantastic price. I take out products suitable for my age, the rest I share with my granddaughter who cannot believe her luck," she wrote. Whatever your age or whether you're splitting the box with a loved one or keeping it to treat yourself, getting your beauty routine right in the summer can be a bit of a challenge; you want to strike a balance between a lightweight look that still packs a punch.
With this in mind, the latest OK! Beauty Box has been expertly put together. The Effortless Edit is valued at over £100 and includes five skin, body and make-up products (four of which are full-size) to effortlessly nail this summer's 'less is more' beauty trend. Inside you'll discover a creamy cleanser, velvety body scrub and brightening serum to create a flawless base, along with a long-lasting mascara for effortless glam that will endure well past sundown, and a must-have hydrating lip oil to round off your pared-down beauty routine – all with beauty editor approval.
And as always, it's an incredible bargain too. The contents of The Effortless Edit are worth over £100 but you can get your first box for just £8.99 when you sign up to the monthly subscription boxes.
The boxes are £15 a month thereafter and you're always guaranteed to receive at least £80 worth of beauty (saving you over 80% on the retail price of the products) delivered straight to your front door every month..
